Answer 1

I've been trying to solve that for Sololearn, but apparently there is a problem with the virtual machine it is running when on code playground - it can't produce proper output encoding to be read by the application.

Answer 2

Yes, unfortunately you can't do anything about it. But in general you can include the following at the top of your script

#-*-coding:cp1251;-*-

Answer 3

Martin to write so comment, is it best practice in python? If script codepage utf-8, do we need write it?
